Cutting Diet for a nubie running product

[sinister33]

I am currently looking for a good cutting diet for the dark side I have entered.

I am 232Lbs, 6' 0" and have a good portion but not a lot of fat to loose, mainly in my midsection. I have an athletic background so I know the hard work that goes into this but I have no idea when to diet or what I should eat so I need help.

I am currently running 2ml EQ once a week and I am on my 3rd week I have no idea as far as what I should eat to cut weight and fat and keep my muscle. This is a first time thing for me and depending on how things work out who knows...

My Stats are:
Age: 32 (Soon to be 33)
Weight: 232lbs
Height: 6'0"
Working out 4~5 times a week (Which I could also use some help with)

My Meals:
8:00am (Soon changing to 6:00am): two eggs, 1 packet instint gritz
11:00am: Protein shake
1:15pm: Tuna sand. or chicken w/ rice or pasta
3:00pm: Protein Shake
7:00pm: Snack
8:30pm: chicken w/ rice or some sort of past.

Any and all help would greatly be appreciated and please, hold no punches...

You spread your meals out unequally. You said you eat at 3 o'clock and the next meal is at 7. You should be eating every 2 1/2 to 3 hours to keep your matabolism going. You shouldn't not eat for 4 hours.

Thanks for the info Goose, the plan I listed above is just a general plan, I haven't locked one down as of yet which is the main reason I'm looking for help. Depending on where I am what I'm doing will determine when and what I eat. Very limited fast food, mostly pasta (italian wife an all), rice, chicken, turkey, tuna, eggs, gritz, lean cold cuts and protein shakes.

If you are "running product", I would suggest very high protein. Probably the main benefit of said product is the increase in P factor(patitioning factor), that is your ability to assimilate more protein. Keep carbs minimal, like just around workout(never jeopardize recovery), so you will be doing a sort of TKD. This should work well.

Thanks for the info Liferforlife, I am in the process of purchasing my protein this weekend. Changing up from the stuff I was taking when I was working out on the regular before taking time off for travel.
Just activated the Gym membership again and things look good for a new start on Monday. Kinda board doing workouts at home and figure there will be less distractions at the gym so I can put in the time to get my results.
Any recomendations on foods? I plan on doing morning workouts, 6:30am or so.

Just as I mentioned...with early morning workouts, if really pressed for time, you will have to make some choices. You can prepare your pre workout meal the night before for instance if you have time to eat it before your workout, if not, then you will have to go the route of a faster absorbing source of food, like a good MRP or something. Then have your recovery drink, followed in the appropriate time by another high quality meal containing good carbs, protein. After that meal, cut all carbs out for the rest of the day other than fibrous veggies, add good fats with your protein, and there you have a decent TKD that should show nice results.

use www.fitday.com if not already using it, it will help a ton. Higher the protien the better, i try and keep my raito's @ 60% pro 20% carb %20 fat. But play with it and see what works for u. How any calories are you taking in a week?

Thanks again for all the info guys... Started changing things up today and so far so good, just have to calculate all the calories to make sure I'm on point.
Question, would you recommend throwing in a fat burner into the mix? Thinking about getting Hydroxicuts or something along those lines.... Any suggestions or recommendations?
